## What is GO SPIRITS?

Go, like you've never played it.

GO SPIRITS fuses the ancient game of Go with character battles. Command one of the Four Symbols — Azure Dragon, Vermilion Bird, White Tiger or Black Tortoise — place stones, capture groups, and unleash spirit skills. Charge your energy and drop an ultimate at the perfect moment to turn the whole board around.

- A REAL GO ENGINE: captures, ko and superko, Chinese area scoring, on 9×9, 13×13 or 19×19
- FOUR GUARDIAN SPIRITS: each with two active skills and one ultimate, each with its own style
- SPECTACULAR SKILLS: casting is a free action — you still place your stone; a shared cooldown keeps skills decisive, not spammy
- REAL-TIME ONLINE: Game Center matchmaking, with an instant AI opponent when no player is found
- RANK LADDER: every match moves your rank points; climb the global leaderboard
- INK-WASH AESTHETICS: xianxia-style art with a real guzheng score
- FIVE LANGUAGES: English, 简体中文, 繁體中文, 日本語, 한국어

Free to download and play with the Azure Dragon. Unlock the other spirits and board skins with one-time purchases — yours forever.
